Nice new tile kitchen floor.....then a plumer finds a water leak in a pipe under it.......plumer calls the great and all powerfull Gopher....and u end up with this

lets see if I can answer some ?? before they are asked....1/2 inch copper hot water line with a leak....replaced with pex and 2 fittings brazed in of course.... we poured concrete but the tile part is on the home owner...we dont replace it.

The plumer I was with on this one...used a ridgid electronic leak detector...dont know the modle...black box with ear phones...and cup on a cable....found the leak soooo close that just after removeing the tile and starting throught the slab about 4" away from the pipe...water shot up...it was dead on...turned off the water and finished digging.
